Every so often I get a link from the mainstream blog network...today it's from Crooks and Liars ...and I'm jarred by how much attention they can send you, and how little. I got so much traffic...240+ folks in under 30 minutes...that I can't follow it to see if any new visitors read anything but the linked page.
Because I am a bit nuts, my hosting account is a virtual server instead of a shared server...I can handle the volume surge. But it makes me think about what it would cost to support a site that gets Crooks and Liars volume every day.

Thanks!

Hooray!
Hooray for Crooks and Liars. I've been telling people for years that this is a site that should be more widely read.
Stephanie: Good to know. And
Stephanie:
Good to know. And in case you work for IGC, you're one of the folks I need to investigate for webhosting in the next 2-3 months.

You're right...
Congressional Black Caucus
The Congressional Black Caucus is split over the banning of menthol in cigarettes. As usual the cause of the split is MONEY and who is getting it. see link: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/25/business/25menthol.html. In my opinion all tobacco products should be banned. Further DUKE University should give their entire endowment to charity. It is the height of hipocrisy to tout themselves as a world class medical school and hospital when the whole structure is supported by tobacco blood money.
